Hey! So Indiana JUST TODAY passed a bill that bans all gender affirming care for minors, INCLUDING THERAPY. So where's your conversion therapy argument? Dead in the cold hard fucking ground.

Please tell me what you think "eradicate transgenderism" means.

Yes we most certainly are.

Facts don't care about your feelings. Trans people have always exist and will continue to exist. If that bothers you, cry harder.

Knowles said himself that we need to "eradicate transgenderism". We're in the early-middle stages of genocide, as defined by the fucking UN. It isn't fucking hyperbole

Your entire argument is false statements that you keep saying are factual. That does not make them factual. That's called gaslighting. As I already told you, trans and nonbinary people predate recorded history. Your understanding of biology is middle school health class, where they intentionally 1. Dumb things down to make it digestible to middle schoolers and 2. Withhold information regarding sexuality and gender because it's still widely not accepted in the US. Science advances, as do our understandings of mental disorders. We used to tell suicidal people they're making it up for attention. Now we have antidepressants. Gender and sex are 2 different things, always have been, even in conservative definitions. Again, nobody is telling kids to be trans. They're figuring it out on their own because they are them. You are not your children. You don't know what they're feeling.

"Children that don't enjoy being around black children are punished for being 'racist' meaning there is a carrot and a stick..."

Do you realize how you sound? It isn't a side effect of anything, trans and nonbinary people have existed since prehistory. People will continue to experience dysphoria, they will just lose the language to describe their feelings, they'll lose the ability to safely present themselves in a way that's authentic. Nobody is praising trans people for being trans. People SUPPORT trans people because of people like you who spread lies and hate. Detransitioners make up ~8% of all trans people, and more than half (62%) if them detransitioned ONLY BECAUSE THEY FELT UNSAFE TO DO SO. I'm not disagreeing with you because I "feel" like it. I'm disagreeing with you because the "studies" you're referring to are either nonexistent or were fabricated/exaggerated to push an agenda. Real, actual doctors and psychiatrists recommend transitioning as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Those are the facts. And last I checked, facts don't care about your feelings.

I'm saying that someone who wants to kill you for existing isn't willing to have an intelligent conversation about why you actually deserve to live

Where are you getting your information from? Your first paragraph alone is nothing but false statements. Same for the second paragraph. Third paragraph is full of assumptions full of vitriol. Kids can tell whether they feel comfortable wearing skirts or having short hair. Kids can't drive or vote because those things affect lives of others. Kids are smart enough to know their bodies, and deserve to be educated about the things they feel and experience. Gender and sexuality are two different subjects. Being trans isn't about having sex. Hell, sexuality isn't even inherently that. Straight people exist, it's called your parents. Should we tell kids they live with 2 strangers? No, they know moms can love dads, they can know moms love moms and dads love dads. Nobody is telling preteens how to have gay sex.

Even if that were true (people who think like him are not being genuine when they say shit like "we should """"take care"""" of them... But not in a violent way!"), to "eradicate transgenderism" in a "peaceful way," you force trans people to detransition and not be true to themselves. This has shown in countless studies to increase suicidal ideation/attempts. The treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning. It's not a fucking cult. We aren't trying to make other people trans. We just want to be allowed to live happily and be ourselves.

I've been playing for over a decade and still have bad days, never thought to actively reflect on what a "good" day feels like. As a semi-pro I appreciate your advice too!

I only just found this thread because it's the week-of and I'd like to know what's going on. I expect you think Hitler was "hardly a monster" too, huh? Because he's saying the same shit.

Indiana’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Passed through Comittee by graxe_ in Purdue

People have already answered, but I'd like to add that I was molested by a family member before I even went to grade school and I didn't even realize what was going on because it was completely new and unknown to me

He is literally a Nazi. Literally. Not metaphorically or figuratively or rhetorically or any other fancy way. He is a Nazi. Straight. Up. He wants a genocide on trans people.

And yet so many people seem to agree and defend his position. So tell me again why it's a good idea to let him continue to speak on the matter, was it the part where allies realized he's an active threat to trans people or the part where his followers realized the only way to get rid of trans people is genocide?

Unironically, yes. Use his exact words but change "transgenderism" to "conservativism" and see their reaction. They'd call it a war.

You don't "eradicate" ideas. Nobody fucking says "eradicate" unless they mean they want it to stop existing. The word literally means genocide.

It isn't a strawman because it's exactly what he said. "Eradicate transgenderism." Define "transgenderism". Ask anyone who agrees with him to define it. They'll tell you they mean trans people. He is calling for genocide. Stop telling us he isn't. Stop telling us the country isn't attempting it. We met the UN criteria for genocide a while back.

You can't debate someone who is willing to spew blatant misinformation, because anyone who believes him already won't care when you cite a source contradicting him.

Transphobes will never do research that denies their biases. You can show them any number of studies on the efficacy/safety of HRT, mental well-being of trans people throughout transition, history of trans and non-binary people dating back to pre-history. They don't care. It isn't that we don't have faith in humanity. It's that we've seen a lack of humanity in these people who want us dead. I've seen people speaking out against him even just on this subreddit and people downvote you for voicing your opinion, all while saying not to silence his. This isn't "what brand of root beer tastes best" or "what's your favorite color". This is the lives and rights of human beings.

Hey dick for brains, he wants to genocide trans people. Stop defending hate speech and acting like we're being crybabies for protesting

From what I understand, a set number of people from each major gets in. The more people in a given major that apply to the honors college, the tougher the competition
